I'm a retired podiatrist, after 40 yrs. 2nd metatarsal is the longest met. and more easily traumatized. Can be from overuse, running, jamming the joint, etc. The connective tissue surrounding the joint is fairly slow to heal. Worst case can be a compression type fracture of the met head. Might want to have checked out so permanent, arthritic type damage doesn't occur. I usually place the patient in a rigid sole surgical shoe to immobilize the joint. |

Might want to have it checked out. Good to best advise. _________________ K4 fins

Thanks all, no swelling or redness. Does seem to improve when not jumping off of this foot especially without shoes. Feels quite slow to heal. Ice only numbs but doesn't seem to help or speed up healing like with other types of injury.
Mornings have the least discomfort, evenings worse. Walking more to the side, minimizing weight load on the joint seems to help.
So did I learn that jumping barefoot over concrete isn't a good idea long-term or is it a foot shape issue poorly distributing load? Or both ? _________________ *NEW* - Manu's Windsurfing Blog, The STORE! |

It might just be age, Amigo, which is harder to combat than injury.

After some quick reading, barefoot anything seems to be better!
And from foot.com...
What causes metatarsalgia?
The most frequent cause of metatarsalgia is participating in sports or activities that put pressure on the metatarsal bones at the front of your foot.
The abnormal stress on your foot can increase inflammation in the metatarsal area. It can also irritate the tendons, ligaments, and cartilage around the bone.
Other causes include:
Shoes that don't fit right: Your shoes may be too tight, squeezing your foot. Or your shoes may be too loose, making your foot slide back and forth.
High heels or sneakers without adequate padding and arch support: These shoes can cause you to put more weight on the ball of your foot.
Foot abnormalities: High arches, a second toe that is longer than your big toe, calluses on the bottom of your foot, bunions, and hammer toe can contribute to metatarsalgia.
Extra weight: Being overweight or obese puts more pressure on your feet and metatarsal area.
Some diseases: Bursitis, arthritis, gout, Morton's neuroma, and small stress fractures in your toes and metatarsal bones can increase the stress on the ball of your foot.
Who's at risk?
Athletes who wear shoes with spikes or shoes without good support. Other people who have a greater risk of metatarsalgia include:
older people
women who wear high heels
people who wear ill-fitting shoes
people who have inflammatory arthritis or foot deformities
people who are overweight or obese _________________ *NEW* - Manu's Windsurfing Blog, The STORE! |

It's finally getting better! It had been several weeks, worse being in October.
I have been walking keeping my toes straight, foot slightly to the side to minimize joint work/stress on that specific toe. Also, I'm more careful when jumping, I switched my jumping foot (odd but interesting feel!) and try to avoid slamming my feet down at the pop. _________________ *NEW* - Manu's Windsurfing Blog, The STORE! |
